Thanks, cuties! <3"

New Chroma

New chroma on for both the new Dragonslayer Xin Zhao skin and for Dragonslayer Pantheon:

Adding simple recalls to older champs

"Hello, everyone! It's time for every champion to have recalls, and it's time for it to hit PBE!

In case you haven't heard, we're repurposing existing animations to give every champion in the game a recall! You can read more about it here!

As you may suspect, this change affects a -lot- of different champions, so the testing here will be a bit broad. The bugs on this should be rather limited, probably just a skin missing an animation at worst. Feedback is what is really useful, so here are some questions to think about.

Were you excited to see your champion now has a recall?
Does the recall match your expectation?
Does it meet these rules for the project?Ruuuuruuus:

[ NOTE: video accurate as of 2/22 update but Ququroon has mentioned many have been tweaked!]

Legend of the Poro King: Portal Party Coming Soon to PBE!

[NOTE: Disabled on 3/1 and Ascension enabled for testing. Look for official RGMQ schedule in next patch notes]Riot Aeonhit the boards to inform us about a new variant of Legend of the Poro King mode called"Portal Party"!

"Hi there!

Coming soon we're going to be enabling a new variation of the Legend of the Poro King game mode called "Portal Party" on PBE for testing.

We're taking an existing game mode and adding a new mechanic to turn it on its head.
This time around a storm of teleportation portals have started spawning all over Howling Abyss.

"Riot JxE from the Render Strike Team here. We're the team that's been refactoring our rendering code in order to clean up the code for our other engineers!

We've put a test on the PBE this patch that's running Kha'Zix and Gromp through our new rendering code. There should be NO visual differences between the two, so let us know if you see any weird visuals or rendering bugs on Kha'Zix and/or Gromp. Please post screenshots in this thread if you find any."

KateyKhaoshas informed us that Zyra has a new death animation on the PBE! As seen on the recent Dragon Sorceress Zyra skin, on death she now falls and is entangled by vines.

Balance Changes

* Remember *: The PBE is a testing grounds for new, tentative, and sometimes radical or experimental changes. Be aware that what you see below may be lacking context or other changes that didn't make it in or were implemented in an earlier patch this cycle! These are not official notes.

Summoner Spells

Exhaust

"Exhausts target enemy champion, reducing their Movement Speed by 30%, and their damage dealt by 40% for 2.5 seconds."

"Aatrox fills the Blood Well through his abilities, and it empties while out of combat. When the Blood Well is filled, Aatrox gains Blood Rush for 4 seconds as the Blood Well drains. During Blood Rush, dealing or taking damage versus enemy champions will completely fill the Blood Well and refresh Blood Rush's duration.

Q + W - :"Post cast lock on both Q and W should now be able to be consistently overridden by other actions (attacks, movement, spell casts) rather than sometimes requiring multiple clicks on a target, clicking to move then clicking to attack etc. " - src.
